Someone tell me this is to good to be true before I get it!

laurenbird, 9 August, 2008 at 13:10 Posted on Planning 0 14

Ok... I am browsing the web and have found a dress that I REALLY like, on a website which I am not 100% sure of.

Cant find it anywhere else at all but its so good £ wise Im wondering if I should just get it regardless! Risky business I know but I love this dress....

What would you do, or have you used this site for ordering and have a happy ever after tale from it? (please?!)

    I wouldn't buy a dress from abroad unless you have checked out customs charges to get it into the country?

    I agree about the extra charges

    Do they ship to the UK? You will have to pay import VAT and duty on the dress too - which can add up to a lot

    I have had a look everywhere also but couldnt find it, found some similar ones but i know from personel experience when u have found a dress you love and you have your heart set on it, then nothing else will really do, im with futuremrslord tbh, i have never heard of it and it has no reviews, maybe you could find a dress maker that could find a similar design and make it near enough the same, it wont be as cheap but mayb worth looking in to, it is a beautiful dress.

    I know you're not in Scotland but Aliya Rose stock this dress! And if they do, I'm sure there must be other Bonny stockists in the UK??

    Also, not sure if it is the same 'bonny' but this is the UK Bonny Bridals site and it has a warning about buying their dresses from the US so worth checking it out

    Loads of Bridal Mags have adverts for Bonny Bridal in with the listed retailers.

    Just thrown out loads of mags and have lent the rest to MIL2B to find somewhere for her outfit otherwise would try to help.

    So... step away from the website- unless you're printing off the pic for reference and style number ?

    Now don't be so defeatist! That dress is a Bonny Unforgettable .... and these 3 stock those so might be able to help? They are Bonny official stockists in the UK from the website.... even if its been discontinued they might still be able to assist?

    Exclusively Yours, 25 Front Street West, Wingate, Co. Durham. Tel: **** (Bonny & Unforgettable)

    Susan's Bridal, 42 Hylton Road, Millfield, Sunderland. Tel: **** (Bonny, Essence & Unforgettable)

    Cherie, 120 Westoe Road, South Shields, Tyne & Wear. Tel: **** (Bonny, Unforgettable & Prom)

    They are not the real thing, they copy the dresses.

    Do you really think you can get a new Vera Wang dress for $219

    They even say they will copy any dress on their about us page

    "If you are looking for a particular gown that you do not see on our site. Please contact us as we can get many nationally advertised dresses for you at extremely discounted prices. If you haven't a slight stature, please don't worry. We can make the dress with plus size and hid your limitation. If you are in a hurry, we will make your dress overtime and send it to you in time."

    Hey Kerri .... <waves>

    I did wonder if it had been discontinued as the official bonny site didn't have that one in the unforgettable listings - although the other options you and Liz have posted will hopefully give Laurenbird some inspiration!

    Girls if it looks too good to be true then it usually is!!

    A bit of advise for online sites - check the "contact us" page and if it is a chinese address then they are copied dresses and there is no way u would get a bonny dress or any other designer dress at that kind of price - and as the girls have already said Bonny are so dead against online sales as are all manufactures now !! www.bridesaware.co.uk
